Getting the Right Number of Candidates
Is your profile overflowing with candidates who want to work for you?
Or is nobody finding you and your organization interesting?
Don’t worry
There’s a solution
Read this post to find out what you can do
First of all…
It’s great that you’ve started using the app
Well, at least you must have…
If you’re looking for the answer to this question
It all comes down to the choices you make
And what you write in your profile description
In other words…
You’re in control
You can turn things up or down
Just like adjusting a thermostat
Exactly what you should adjust…
That is a bit harder to answer
Because it depends entirely on your industry
And on how many – or how few – candidates
Match the types of profiles
You are hiring
It also depends on the causes you support
Or the geographical area you’re located in
So don’t be afraid to experiment
Whether it’s easy or difficult to get matches
Depends entirely on
How specific your requirements are
Or whether you don’t have any requirements at all
And simply say “Yes” to everything
That said, there is one minimum requirement:
You must select the profile types you’re hiring
That’s the first thing we match on
And the most important one
Beyond that,
You’re completely free
To fine-tune everything else
So if you’re getting too many matches – or too few
Go back and review the choices you made
When you created your profile
That’s why I can’t give you a simple answer
To how many boxes you should tick
Try different settings
Until you’re happy
And you’re matching with exactly the number of candidates
That suits your needs
You can manage everything
In your profile settings
You can even completely change your profile
Although I wouldn’t recommend it
After all, most companies don’t switch their industry overnight
From sales one day
To pharmaceuticals the next
Good luck finding the right candidates!
